Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

Me: Wow this is terrible, I should download a local copy of wikipedia, its only like 30gig right?
Wikipedia: Heres a nepenthies like trap of pages that don't actually have a download link and all just link back to eachother, also the actual archive is in a format no ones ever heard of and needs a dedicated reader AND a dedicated very suspicious looking torrenting software to download in the first place.
I still haven't figured that shit out, Every now and then theres this push to get people to back it up locally but then it seems like they deliberately make it as hard as they possibly can to do so.
You can also install wikimedia and download the database, but then you'd need a webserver locally to host it.
